Also, forgot one more thing: I need Co-GM(s). PM me about that. Your responsibility will be fair rolling for the military stuff and the sheet, as well as settling disagreements fairly.

And yet another thing, if you have a question about the setting, the answer is almost certainly 'it's like Game of Thrones'. Ask it anyways, but note that it is the outline for the setting.
Note that I made the sheet too long on accident. Five paragraphs for history is the only hard minimum. The rest of the filler text is really more of a maximum. Your King's biography should be fairly lengthy, but your characters can for the most part be one paragraph about biography and a few lines about royal relations. Also, don't worry, you will have plenty of time to complete the sheet. I know it looks daunting.
This is specifically going to be vague and brief because I have been burned on one too many long OPs. Granted, those were on different sites, but better safe than sorry.

The premise of this role-play is that each player is a king who pledged loyalty the Aedrial the Great of Blood Spires three centuries ago after he took the Isle of Kings back from the wild men of the jungles of Durutoon. Hailed as a hero, he built the Bone Keep from the ashes of the isle and had the ashes and crushed skeletons of the wild men mixed with water to decorate his crown. Now the wild men want revenge, and border attacks are skyrocketing. Villages are burning. The Far Lands, known to traders as Kirkrakod, Auruaii, the Gold Isles, and the Fierce-Lands, are discontent with the imperial ambitions of Emperor Saaderion Aedrial of Blood Spires. Rumors of blood magic and dead hordes in these lands are spread throughout Deraelium. The North seek more support from the Emperor to guard against the Frozen Clans and the South beg support for peasant rebellions due to the drought. The Rock Islands threaten rebellion, and thus a cutoff from the Imperial Fleet, if rations are not sent to help the starving folk of the mining island. The Ever-Autumn Isles are in chaos ever since the Imperial Ban on Magical Activities nearly destroyed their home. A massive refugee crisis from the war between Odikarad and Aavosia means that Lord's Harbor is overflowing. The Imperial Alliance is in chaos, and it falls to the court of the Isle of Kings to hold the damn thing together.

The story will be told in first person present tense from the perspective of each king. Each post is likely to be several messengers coming to tell the king of some news, the king's reaction, and one in a few will probably be a battle. On occasion, you may change perspective to a hero of some kind or something more grunt-like, but those should be separate posts and done in addition to a commitment of one post per week (unless notice is given). Each week on Friday I will write up some brief notes about current events and settle battle outcomes, diplomatic talks, and other such things. However, I don't really like posting as a character and GM'ing. As such, I'll hold court, put some lines in the OOC, and leave the rest to the players. Court will happen every in-game year during the Fair-Leaf Festival where travel time is the slowest.

In the OOC and in here as interest is expressed I'll add some more about ethnicities and probably tweak the Kingdom Sheet. Note that you SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AT THIS TIME BE MAKING A KINGDOM SHEET UNTIL THE OOC IS ANNOUNCED. I have provided it so you know what to expect, especially with the image count and the lords thing. That can get tricky.

The Wrath of Dragons

Introduction

For one thousand years the Great Empire ruled the world of Baelörgård. Magnataarus the Immortal presided over his divine state with justice and effectiveness. The Ministries and Senates worked as though they were an Orchestra of the Great One, and the people rejoiced with every note they sung. The good feeling, the great urging thing of the Empire seemed eternal. Alas, war came to the World. Magnataarus and his fellow Angels faded from the world. A great sorrow was felt by the angels, and without their gentle hand Baelörgård fell ill. The races of the world fell into disarray and the Great Cities banded together in alliances, the names of which are engraved with bloody picks onto history. The world was at war. At long last, the warlords and savage kings founded the eight nations. The Angel Wastes of Drunidra and the Forsaken Wastes of Drakatar were left untouched in the conflict.

See 'Descriptions of the Old Nations'
Hm. Moderately interesting.

Sounds fun. Will join.
Aye ter, I be da chief of da Drake-hunters. I be da feller o' wings, da ripper o' scales, an da burner o' serpent eyes. I wish ye all good fortunes.

Hi, I am an experienced role-player looking for a fresh start. I absolutely love tabletop RP, nation RP, wargaming (although Warhammer is not my forte; I generally use home-brews), and creating new stat systems. It is my dream to create a hyper-realistic nation/war gaming tabletop system. I can also get pretty into regular fandom RPs, but only with fandoms I absolutely love and know quite a bit about (a short list which so far only includes World of Warcraft and Star Wars). I cannot bear slice of life RPs and survival RP isn't necessarily my thing, although I can cozy up to it if it has a good menace. I don't generally like small groups and am a slight control freak. My posts are generally 2 paragraphs on a weekly basis if I am not super into it at the moment but sometimes it turns into a novella if you get me enamored with it. I also like incorporating other artistic mediums such as image manipulation and music into my posts. I also plan to start a new nation RP soon, with some OC I have been cooking' up (hint: it involves my username). If any of this appeals to you, then PM me or notify me or whatever you do here,or just post in this thread I suppose. In any case, greetings and good fortunes to all!
